Interesting fact

The Dirham coin , issued during the reign of Abul-'Abbas Ahmad IV in Morocco in 1655, was made of silver and weighed 0.68 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Moroccan design elements. The obverse side of the coin features a stylized representation of the Islamic declaration of faith, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Moroccan king, Abul-'Abbas Ahmad IV, seated on his throne. This blend of religious and royal symbols reflects the complex cultural and political landscape of Morocco during this time period.
